I searched all public remarks for any numeric or descriptive owner-occupancy information and found none. Owner-occupancy is a numeric field that must be provided explicitly; without any mention or a current numeric value, it remains unknown (null) with low confidence. Provide onsite/HOA verification or explicit remarks to populate this field.
Multiple listing remarks explicitly mention the number of elevators (e.g., "5 elevators throughout the property"). Use the stated number 5 for elevators with high confidence.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

16 of 20 current MLS listings have the OTCOEX association_fee_includes checkbox checked and many public remarks reference 'maintenance of the common areas' (e.g., 'maintenance of the common areas are included'). Although explicit phrasing like 'common area electricity' is rare in the remarks, the high frequency of the OTCOEX checkbox across multiple agent listings suggests the building maintenance fee likely covers common-area electric costs.

Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings shows HOTWAT checked while many listings specifically state 'tankless water heater', 'new water heater', or list WTRHTR in inclusions (about 10/20), indicating units have their own hot water heaters. Multiple agent remarks confirm in-unit water heaters, so hot water is not included in the monthly maintenance fee.

18 of 20 listings list SEWER in association_fee_includes and several public remarks explicitly state 'sewer is included' or include sewer in a list ('Water, sewer, and common area maintenance are included'). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, giving strong confidence that sewer is included in the maintenance fee.
19 of 20 listings include WATER in the association_fee_includes checkbox and many public remarks explicitly state 'water' is included in the monthly maintenance fee. The consistency across multiple listings and agents provides strong evidence that water is covered by the maintenance fees.
Strong evidence across listings: ~many (nearly all) listings mention BBQ areas or a BBQ pavilion—examples include 'BBQ area', 'barbecue grills', and 'BBQ pavilion'. This feature is consistently listed by multiple agents and appears to be a genuine shared amenity for the building.

Strong evidence across listings: 17 of 20 MLS listings list the exercise/fitness room (remarks repeatedly say 'fitness room', 'exercise room', 'workout room' or 'fitness center'). Multiple independent agent remarks describe a well‑equipped fitness room/center, indicating this is a consistent, building‑level amenity rather than a copy‑paste error.
No analysis available
Several listings (at least 5+) describe an indoor meeting-type space, using terms like 'meeting room', 'recreation room with gym equipment', 'rec room', and 'community meeting room'. This aligns with prior high confidence and confirms that the building offers a shared meeting/rec room accessible to residents.
Multiple listings (10+ from different agents) explicitly mention unit lanais/balconies and building BBQ/poolside pavilions, e.g., 'one of the larger lanais in the complex,' 'watch the sunset from your lanai,' and 'BBQ pavilion perfect for gatherings.' Other units reference a 'Juliet balcony' and 'oceanfront pavilion with BBQ and picnic areas,' indicating consistent availability of patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Even though only a minority of MLS checkboxes flag PATDEC/COVPAT, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that patio/deck amenities exist in this building.
Good evidence: 11 of 20 MLS listings list walking/jogging path and several remarks explicitly say 'walking/jogging path' or 'paths throughout the complex' leading to pools/lagoon. This consistent mention across multiple agent remarks supports that the property includes walking/jogging paths on the grounds.

Moderate-to-strong evidence: multiple listings explicitly reference a recreation/meeting room or recreation deck (phrases such as 'recreation room with gym equipment', 'meeting room', and 'recreation area' appear), supporting that the building offers a shared recreation area, though it is mentioned less consistently than BBQ.
Moderately strong evidence: although CURRENT MLS checkbox count for RECROO is lower (2/20), many public remarks describe a 'meeting room', 'rec room', or 'recreation room with gym equipment', indicating the building offers at least one shared recreation/meeting space that agents mention across listings.

Many listings (well over 10) repeatedly mention a shared sauna facility, often noting 'sauna', 'sauna room', '2 saunas', or 'male/female saunas' in the amenity list. The frequency and detail of these remarks confirm that one or more saunas are available to residents.
Several listings describe building-level storage features, including a unit with a 'covered parking stall & storage locker,' another with 'assigned parking with storage,' and remarks noting 'storage closets' and 'storage space for your surfboard' as part of the common amenities. This appears in at least 4 different listings from different agents, suggesting dedicated storage facilities are a consistent, shared amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. Despite sparse MLS checkbox use, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that Makaha Surfside offers resident storage/locker options.
Multiple public remarks call out surfboard storage among the building amenities, directly confirming the availability of dedicated surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
Implied evidence: 12 of 20 MLS listings currently list trash‑chute as an amenity, but none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'trash chute', 'garbage chute' or 'refuse chute'. Given the MLS checkbox prevalence but lack of explicit remarks, include the feature with moderate confidence (implied).

Strong, consistent evidence across all listings: 20/20 listings reference pools. Remarks repeatedly state phrases like "two swimming pools," "two pools," or "sparkling pools," and also reference related amenities (kiddie pool, lagoon, pool views). The consistency across many agent remarks (though some appears copy-pasted) yields high confidence that the building offers swimming pools.
No remarks (0/20) explicitly state the pools are heated; listings repeatedly call them 'two pools', 'sparkling pools', or 'salt water pools' but never 'heated' or 'heated pool'. While 3/20 MLS amenity checkboxes list HEAPOO, the absence of any 'heated' language in detailed remarks across the dataset strongly indicates the pools are not heated; the few MLS flags appear to be inconsistent agent checkbox usage.
Multiple listings discuss two pools as a central amenity, and at least one public remark explicitly identifies the pools as salt water. No listings contradict this statement.
No analysis available
Historical MLS data indicates 15/20 listings had the COMLAU amenity checked. Current public remarks repeatedly and consistently mention shared laundry: examples include 'on-site laundry', 'community laundry', 'laundry facilities', and 'two community laundry areas'. This confirmation appears across many different listings/agents and corroborates the historical data, so confidence is high that the building has shared/community laundry.
I looked for terms like 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card operated', or 'paid laundry' in the public remarks. Although laundry facilities are repeatedly referenced ('community laundry', 'on-site laundry', 'two community laundry areas'), there are no mentions of payment requirements or coin/card operation.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Multiple listings mention 'community laundry', 'on-site laundry', and 'two community laundry areas' (e.g., 'two community laundry areas', 'on-site laundry'), but there is no explicit statement that laundry facilities exist on every floor.
Strong evidence building-wide: all 20 listings include parking in MLS checkbox data and multiple public remarks reference covered stalls, parking structure, guest stalls and covered parking (examples: "covered parking stall", "parking structure", "one assigned open parking stall"). Mentions appear across many different listings/agents, indicating the building offers parking as a consistent amenity rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
Strong evidence across listings that the building offers assigned parking: MLS checkbox data indicates 18 of 20 listings list assigned parking, and many remarks explicitly state phrases like "one assigned open parking stall", "deeded covered parking space", and "designated parking stall". Mentions are consistent across multiple listings/agents and corroborate the MLS checkbox counts, indicating high confidence this is a building-level feature.
Strong evidence that the building provides covered parking: MLS parking_features list covered parking for 16 of 20 listings and many remarks explicitly mention 'covered parking stall', 'covered assigned parking', or 'deeded covered parking'. The coverage is consistent across multiple agent remarks and aligns with historical MLS data.
Numerous listings reference an owned/assigned parking stall (explicitly 'deeded' in some remarks and many mentions of 'deeded covered parking' and 'assigned parking'), supporting high confidence that parking stalls are deeded/owned with units.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'additional parking cost' and found none. Many listings explicitly say 'assigned parking', 'covered parking', 'designated parking stall', or that a second stall can be purchased, but there is no statement of a recurring monthly parking charge.
Moderately strong and explicit evidence that guest parking is available: roughly 8 of 20 listings reference guest or visitor stalls, with remarks quoting "guest stalls", "ample guest parking", and specific counts such as "22 guest stalls". The evidence appears across multiple listings and agents, supporting inclusion of guest parking as a building feature.
Many listings describe Makaha Surfside as a “secured, gated” property with “24/7 gated security” and specifically note that the “parking entry has security guard” and that there is a “secure parking garage.” This repeated emphasis on gated/guarded access supports that the parking facilities have secured entry, even though only a subset of MLS checkboxes explicitly flag it.

I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and similar phrasing and found no evidence. Remarks describe assigned stalls, guest parking, and available covered parking but do not reference any waitlist system.
No analysis available
I searched for 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', or 'electronic access' in the public remarks. Listings include 'secured entry', 'keyed entry', 'gated community', and '24-hour security/guard' (e.g., 'secured entry, 24-hour security'), but there is no explicit mention of card or fob access systems.
Historical MLS data lists SECGUA in 18/20 current listings. Numerous public remarks explicitly state phrases like '24-hour security', '24/7 gated security', 'security guard', and 'security patrol' across multiple agent listings, indicating the building provides on-site security. Evidence is strong and consistent (likely some copy/paste among agents), supporting a high-confidence true value.
Security patrol is explicitly and repeatedly mentioned across listings (e.g., '24-hour security patrol', '24/7 gated security', 'security guard'), indicating active security patrols on the property with high confidence.

Numerous listings mention 'window A/C,' 'large window AC unit,' 'brand new window AC,' or 'newly installed ac window unit' in various units, and MLS inclusions show ACWIUN in 11/20 listings.
High confidence that the building is concrete: 19 of 20 current MLS records list CONCRE and numerous public remarks from different listings explicitly reference concrete or cinder-block (quotes include “Concrete walls in the living spaces have been dry walled…” and “eliminate any hint of cinder block”). Evidence is consistent across many agent listings (could reflect shared knowledge or copy/paste), providing strong support that the building is constructed of concrete.
No analysis available
Limited evidence: 3 of 20 MLS records list HOLTIL, but public remarks do not mention hollow tile. Without explicit remarks or stronger MLS prevalence, hollow tile construction is not reliably supported.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS records include MASSTU and multiple listings describe concrete/cinder-block walls that have been drywalled/surfaced. While remarks do not explicitly say 'stucco', the pattern of masonry/concrete construction with finished exteriors supports including masonry/stucco at an implied confidence level.
No analysis available
Implied evidence: 6 of 20 MLS construction_materials list SLAB and the building is repeatedly described with concrete/cinder-block construction, which commonly sits on concrete slab foundations. No remarks explicitly state 'concrete slab', so this feature is included with moderate (implied) confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
MLS construction_materials continue to list ABOGRO for a majority of recent listings (11/20), and remarks repeatedly describe ground-floor vs. upper-floor units, top-floor studios, and elevators without any indication of subterranean or partially buried construction. The physical descriptions (rooftop/second-floor level parking, multiple stories) support that the building is conventionally built above ground, so the prior above-ground flag remains valid.
Weak evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS construction_materials include BRICK and no public remarks reference brick or brick-and-mortar construction. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, it's unlikely the building is primarily brick construction.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit STR indicators (e.g., 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental allowed', 'NUC', '30-day minimum') and found none. Listings reference month-to-month tenants and marketing as vacation retreats or investments, but that is not an explicit statement that STRs are permitted.
I searched the remarks for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', 'managed by hotel', and brand-associated rental pools; there is no mention of participation in a hotel rental pool. Because STR allowance was not confirmed, this is set to false.
I searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', and similar wording and found none. With no evidence of a hotel rental pool or mandatory participation in listings, this field is false.

Listings repeatedly market the project as fee simple, indicating no leasehold. I searched for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', and 'leasehold expiring' and found no mention of any lease expiry year.
Public remarks explicitly reference VA financing and VA approval across multiple listings, including phrasing like "VA $0 down loans," "VA approved," and a listing noting a VA loan assumable. This supports a high-confidence conclusion that the building is VA loan approved.
I reviewed all public remarks for explicit statements that the HOA/building carries full (walls-in) insurance and found none. With no mention in the listings and no separate verification, this is reported false with medium confidence. A user-entered verification or HOA documentation would be needed to change this.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for explicit fire/life safety evaluation or passed fire inspection language and found none. Because there is no mention in the remarks and no current verified value provided, this is set to false with medium confidence (absence = likely not stated). If you have a user verification or inspection report, that would supersede this.

Overwhelming evidence across the listing remarks: dozens of listings explicitly advertise 'ocean', 'oceanfront', 'Pacific Ocean views', 'direct beach access' or 'unobstructed ocean view' (e.g., 'oceanfront condo', 'wake up to the Pacific Ocean', 'direct ocean views'). This language appears across many agents' remarks and multiple units/buildings, indicating strong, consistent building-level ocean views.
Moderate evidence: a handful of listings (about 3-6 remarks) mention mountain or mauka views—phrases include 'peek-a-boo mountain views', 'Waianae mountain range', and 'Mauna Lahilahi'. The mountain view claims are present but far less pervasive than ocean-view claims, so inclusion is warranted with moderate confidence.

Limited-to-moderate evidence: a smaller number of listings use terms like "coastline", "coastal views" or reference the West coastline explicitly. Mentions are fewer than ocean or sunset references but present enough across listings to include the feature for buyers searching for coastline views.
Several listings highlight views of the project’s landscaped areas rather than just the ocean, citing 'grounds are perfectly landscaped to enjoy views from your unit,' 'lush grassy common area,' 'lovely grassy area,' and 'lush green manicured grounds.' One studio explicitly notes you can gaze at 'beautiful garden or pool side.' This consistent language across different units supports that garden/landscaped views are a real feature buyers can seek out here.

No analysis available
Limited but present evidence: one or two listings explicitly advertise 'sunrise views' or 'wake up each morning to stunning sunrise views', and a few other remarks imply eastern/morning exposure. Because some units explicitly claim sunrise views, the building should be listed as offering sunrise-view units with moderate/implicit confidence.
Strong evidence: many listings explicitly advertise 'sunset views', 'watch the sunset', and 'front-row sunsets' from units and lanais (numerous remarks across different units). Sunset/view-west exposure is consistently referenced by multiple agents, supporting high confidence that the building offers sunset-view units.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases such as 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from', or 'see fireworks from lanai/unit'. The remarks describe ocean, sunset and lagoon views ('sunset views', 'oceanfront', 'private lagoon'), but contain no statements about being able to view Friday-night or other fireworks from the building or units.

Multiple listings and MLS checkbox data indicate on-site management: 7/20 listings have the RESMAN amenity checked and several remarks explicitly state phrases like "resident manager's office on site" and "onsite manager." Evidence appears in listings from different agents rather than a single copy/paste source, providing strong support that the building has a resident manager on-site.
